A few days ago, veteran actor Govinda was rushed to the hospital after he accidentally shot himself in the leg. The 60-year-old actor’s licensed gun misfired when he dropped it while placing it in the almirah. After receiving several days of treatment at CritiCare Hospital in Mumbai, Govinda was discharged. In a recent development, Govinda’s brother met with actor Anupam Kher to discuss the actor’s recovery and also touched upon his health.

In the video, the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai actor also revealed that he met with the director after years and revealed that Kirti Kumar directed his 1988 action thriller Hatya, in which Govinda also starred.
